Holiday Lights Parade and Celebration

The excitement begins in the early afternoon, with family-friendly events that include a live reindeer petting zoo, horse-drawn carriage rides, crafts, games and activities for parade fans of all ages, holiday carolers and more! As the sun goes down, Ohio's premier evening parade begins and warms the crowd with lighted floats (each with 1,000+ tiny lights!), marching bands, equestrian entries and a host of dazzling surprises. The appearance of Old St. Nick signals countdown to the lighting of Gahanna's community tree.

This event has become one of the most beloved nighttime illuminated holiday events in the Midwest. In addition to the many new visitors the Holiday Lights Parade attracts each year, it has become an annual family tradition for thousands of Central Ohio residents.
